Battleship Rock - Hiking area in Jemez Springs - Camp Shaver Ln, USA

It's an amazing place to have a picnic with your family and rest next to a running small river. Once you had a picnic; now, it is time to explore the beautiful nature by hiking and following spectacular trail that will eventually bring you to the top of the mountain. However, you should be careful by following this trail because it was a little bit difficult for some of us due to high elevation and trail going upward and path being sometimes a little bit slippery; hence, try to wear your special hiking shoes and you shouldn't have any problems along the way. Also, I would suggest to find a map probably because this trail can be a bit confusing from time to time.

WOW! Make sure you enter the area, first time we only pulled off to use the restroom. Park is breathtaking, stream, massive Pine, Balsam,Aspen. Easy trails to hike. Ample parking and Restrooms, tables and grills available.

Battleship Rock is a beautiful recreation site for people seeking to be near water, trails, picnic tables, fishing, and nature photos. It is beautiful from Spring thru Fall. Although the gates are locked in the winter, some like to hike in to see the snow and ice on the river. The upper parking lot toilets are open year around, no drinking water. Depending on your ability to hike, there are warm springs to the east of the Rock, or a waterfall to the north. Battleship Rock truly has something for everyone.

Had a great time!! It wasn't too hot either. Just dip your feet in the stream and you will cool down FAST!

Beautiful. Nice trails lots to see. Wear appropriate shoes for trails. They are rocky and slick.

Love this place. It's been a right of passage for us an our kids since I was a kid to pose at the Rocks an waterfall it's amazing how from 20 years ago the location stands the same an just as beautiful in 90s as it is today. Great family atmosphere Great hiking trails Hot springs great for family memories An right up top from the parking just a 10min hike up is a great waterfall for your little ones It's a waterfall then like a man made dam almost for little kids.

Perfect for spending the day with family. My son is 4 years old and he was in heaven. There are many places to get into the river and lots of little trails. Perfect for social distancing! The parking area is right next to the "Battleship Rock" and there are many picnic tables and spaces to grill. There is an outdoor fireplace with covered seating as well. Looking forward to being there in the winter!

Great rec area. Tons of picnic areas with lots of shade and decent parking. Lots of bathrooms and a few dumpsters for trash. There is a short little trail that leads to a nice water fall.
